Ise Kadoya First Sailing XPA Extra Pale Ale Clear straw gold with a foamybwhite top and a citrusy hop bouquet. Quite aggressively carbonated with a scratchy mouthfeel. The taste is bitter citrus but better balanced than the regular XPA though that had a nicer mouthfeel. Both are alright but with more tweaking they could be really good.
